Speaking of Keith Jackson, a week or so ago a user asked for input regarding Keith Jackson led TV broadcasts of Michigan games in the past. I added the Texas A & M game from the 1977. WolverineHistorian added an embedded video of that game.

Watching it, I was shocked to hear Keith Jackson refer to Michigan as the 'Wolves' a number of times. I assume he did that for other games as well, but that it never took because any Michigan fan in WJR's footprint watching the game had the sound down and Ufer on the transistor.

would be ok to be called Big Blue if there wasn't already another major division school that has used this nickname for years. A lot of my family is from KY and over the years I have learned to despise anything related to UK.

NOBODY on campus or anyone in Ann Arbor says "Big Blue." It's stupid. We hate it. I can understand why some fans with no affiliation to the school or Ann Arbor may be confused because that idiot Lee Corso won't stop saying it, but it is NOT a nickname for Michigan Football.

its been all in good-natured rivalry fun. I think the two fan bases took the event and got to know one another more, there were some good comments posted.

I watch a lot of B1G FB living in Chicago and wasn't aware of the Touch the Banner tradition. When UM fans visit us in Lincoln, hopefully they'll have more appreciation for our Tunnel Walk. So I think the poll actually served its purpose

pretty sure the fact that 5% of the u.s. population must have "voted" in this poll to reach those numbers gives away that we're both cheating. it looks like ND is the only team that's relying on actual human votes. suckers. that's what you get for essentially not having an engineering department.

Any ESPN disqualifications at this point would have to include us, Neb, and FSU, effectively declaring ND the winners. And with all the resentment that everyone already has toward Irish favoritism, there's no way they would pull that.

They can't come up with 2 millions votes in 7 minutes. Not worried about FSU, either. They're ND beatdown is inflated by ND's alck of botting. There are only about 2 million total votes in that poll to our 20 million, so I'm confident we can out-bot them.

There is little chance any sort of disqualification would occur- given the tenuous grasp that most people have on statistics, or numbers in general, whoever is in charge of that poll at ESPN probably won't realize how improbable it is for 20 million people to vote in this poll.
